Last I remember hearing Fallout:NV didn't end up being an especially painful development process for Obsidian and Sawyer and the guys are still on good terms I mean what the gently caress is this dude on about.

note: "not an especially painful development process for Obsidian" is probably still like having your fingernails chipped off with a spoon.

I can confirm for you that Obsidian will never work with Bethesda again after the poo poo they pulled last time

tying cash bonuses to meta-critic scores. A crime most heinous.

Bethesda's QA screwed the pooch there, no doubt, but the way goons talk about it makes it seem like a big conspiracy where Bethesda pulled some kind of bait and switch to save that sweet meta-critic cash.

Wait a minute... There's a frame in there where you can clearly see his gums. His teeth just haven't loaded in for some reason. Is this seriously the twisting head glitch of the new game? Teeth aren't spawning?

I guess when they get hosed again I'll be sure to laugh at them
there were other actually important reasons why obsidian got hosed concurrently with that, mostly having two unnamed AAA projects get shut down during preproduction

No, you either have to keep the VPN on until it releases for real in your time zone, or you have to put Steam in offline mode first, and then disconnect. With the latter, it might also mean that achievements won't unlock if that's important for you.

Ahh, offline mode should work.

That deal probably actually came from Zenimax as the publisher and not Bethesda as well.

EDIT: \/ We've seen characters with teeth though. It's either inconsistent modelling or a bug. Heck, in that bad player youtube vid, the vault-tec guy has teeth but the lovely mouth movement animations mean you barely see them.

showing teeth are the only way you can deliver a poo poo-eating grin and it saddens me to find that there will be no poo poo-eating grins until mods implementing teeth in head models happen

Teeth are a modeling issue, not everything is graphics.

Also, yes, staring at people's teeth is really strange.

Its not that I demand that a game be ultra realistic or think that lovely graphics, bad character models, or any of the other negative cosmetic things we've seen in the Fallout streams affects a games fun factor. poo poo like this does indicate however than the developers are comically lazy at best and incompetent at worst. I don't know how you aren't understanding this and think that people who make simple criticisms without hyperbole are weird freak autists.

I think it is weird because how often do you actually see a person's teeth in a normal conversation? Why is this a thing to fixate on?

Dude, I've seen it posted several times and just happened to be looking at the black void of a mouth when I thought I saw something and it turned out to be gums. It's also fairly normal to sort of have your eyes drawn to something that stands out and the lack of teeth is one of them. A lazy eye is another.

Agreed. Anyone who criticizes The Product simply has deep psychological issues, hates fun, and has possibly killed children in the past.

maybe we like scenes where characters lose their poo poo to be slightly less embarrassing and there is no doubt that bethesda will try to do some of these (and fail miserably)

Nobody but you are making this a thing. It's a "huh, neat funny bug, probably gonna get fixed day 1".

Stop thinking people are out to get you/poo poo on your game.

Playing the wrong game then, i think, cause they'll always be hilariously embarrassing.

Who knows, maybe I'm the weird one because I don't notice people's teeth when i talk to them, that's entirely possible too I guess

Where you're wrong is we're not fixating on it. I don't care about accurate teeth modeling in video games, dude. It just looks really silly and like someone above me said, the goofiness of the mouth animations draw the eye away in conversations. Is it a game breaking issue? No. Is it stupid and adds to the pile of little reasons animations and in game models look weird? Yes.

Oh no, my man, it gets better. He produced a lovely film and then cried about how its America's fault for not recognizing his original idea as a summer blockbuster that should have made Guardians of the Galaxy money as "Original Ideas are over and can't succeed anymore, unlike the movie Golden Age of the 1980s-90s".
